Maybe my life was over, then again maybe I was dreaming. Maybe if I pinched myself hard enough, I'd eventually wake up— or faint. Either would have been optional at the moment.
Bill looked back and forth between us. Penny looked at me, waiting for a word to come out of my mouth. What was I supposed to say when a 6'4 man-child is hanging out with you? 'I met him on the streets, we're good friends now.'
"He—This is, uh—" I stammered with my words. I looked at Penny as my face starting heating up with embarrassment. Or maybe it was anger, I never really knew which.
"—I heard a loud noise coming from the house next door. Thought I might check it out." Penny cut in, his act remaining calm and persuasive. Penny looked at me. "Just to make sure everyone's safe."
Bill narrowed his eyes at him. "You live in t-the neighborhood? T-This neighborhood?" Bill asked, his voice growing concerned as he crossed his arms. "That's funny. I've never seen you here before."
"Staying with a few close friends of mine." Penny slowed his words, his voice soothing, but yet intimidating. Bill stepped a foot closer, his suspicion making me nervous.
"And who are you, m-may I ask?"
Oh no. Was it too late to turn around and run? The fact that they met was insane. Like two worlds colliding for the first time. Romeo and Juliet. A crossover. Not the same storyline.
Penny cleared his throat. His actions were smooth, but the way I knew him, it wasn't for too long he'd lash out at Bill. Without hesitating, Penny held out his hand. Bill and I both flinched slightly.
"Bob Gray. Pleased to meet you." Penny smirked.
Nice knowing you, I said to myself. Penny hadn't been apart of my life for a while. He had just come back in it and maybe it was for good. Or maybe he was a temporary mistake. Whatever was happening in this exact moment either changes things or brings Penny closer to my life.
Bill shook his hand, slowly pulling it away as he stood closer to me. His chest puffed out, as he straightened his posture. "Thanks for the...concern," Bill murmured, once again, looking him up and down. "B-But I think we've got it from here." Bill finished.
Penny looked over to me, and I looked over to him. With a slight hesitation, Penny lowered his head and turned around. He walked away towards the intersection to the neighborhood, and in just a few moments his tall figure was gone.
Bill hadn't questioned me about him ever since.
I didn't give much thought into where he'd gone. He would leave for small amounts of times, and come back later as if I'd just seen him. I'd never given much thought to how something so unreal could be real. How something so beautiful could exist. But maybe it wasn't just this.
Sometimes people can be beautiful enough to where their existence annoys you. Maybe not in looks. Maybe not in what they say. But maybe it's just the way they are. And he was undeniably beautiful. Penny, "Bob Gray," whoever he considered himself as stayed in my thoughts ever since he walked away. Ever since the last time I saw him.
